i posted a while back about losing to an S2000 on the other board. tonight, again, on my way back from hockey, i managed to line up next to the same S2000, this time with no passenger or extra bag of equipment, a dyno tune, and much better tires.

i saw the blue lights behind me and a red light in front of me so i immediately cut the guy in the lane next to me off to offer my buddy a spot up front with me. he said his hellos and i offered a rematch. he said ok, whoever makes it to the top of the hill 1st has bragging rights (the light was just before an uphill bridge over an expressway for maybe a 1/4 miles worth of a race, if even). he didnt rev as high as he did the last time (he beat me so bad last time, i dont think he was taking me too seriously) and got the usual manual tranny jump on me. this time, instead of falling almost a car length behind, my bumper stayed even with his side-view mirrors. he shifted and dropped about a foot on me but immediatly gained his spot back. it was my turn to jump into 2nd and got the usual 2nd gear lurch forward. now we were about even with me steadily pulling. we get to the top of the hill with him by a nose and he said he let off at the end (even though i didnt hear any change in his engine).

so there u have it, i lost to the honda again, but maybe next time(i love racing this guys car) we'll be on a flat road with more distance to go. i most deffinately wouldve had him, but i really hate saying coulda woulda, so i digress.

kinda sucks my 1st post in my favorite section is a loss, but its still good to be back.
 
RE: im back in this section!

Sounds like a nice race. Glad you showed him what's what and who's who. Not to mention the fact you have a 100lb box in your trunk that running without he would have been road oil.
